FMC IN HONDURAS

PRESENT MINISTRIES

Superintendent Brent Thompson and his wife, Alma (ICCM director), began work in Honduras over 20 years ago. In November 2019 the Honduras Mission District was officially established. Pastora Daisy Arzú was named mission district leader due to her proven leadership skills, ability to interact with the vision of the area, and organizational and administrative skills. The churches in Honduras have embraced Community Church Planting. They now have 25 church plants and 45 students enrolled in Pastoral Formation.

ORIGINS

Free Methodist churches in Honduras are led by two conference ministerial candidates and a group of emerging lay leaders with a vision to plant more churches. The existing churches were started from three different Free Methodist connections in the U.S.: Salem, MA; Miami, FL; Rochester and Fredonia, NY.
